Estimated Number of Meetings per Year - 4 Estimated Total Meetings - 8

Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*

The current military tempo, the war on terrorism, operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, as well as the unprecedented use of all forces requires us to examine whether the proper balance between military pay and benefits for all members is appropriate. In addition, we need to examine whether recent legislative changes to the military compensation system have produced an imbalance in terms of current and deferred compensation, in-kind in comparison to cash compensation and special versus basic pays. The Defense Advisory Committee on Military Compensation will address these issues. This effort is needed to meet the challenges and demands of the 21st century. It is important at the start of the 21st century that we examine a military compensation structure that was constructed in 1948, which was at the end of World War II and at the start of the Cold War. The proposed panel, consisting of university professors, former and current industry leaders, all with expertise in compensation, is unique in its mission and composition and ability to address these issues. No other source is avaliable to tackle such a mission.

Why close or partially close meetings?
